Why is the generator output voltage too low on my Fischer Panda 15 mini PMS Digital Inverter?
- K
  Kristen ParksAug 5, 2025
  If the generator output voltage of your Fischer Panda Inverter is too low, it could be due to several reasons: * The generator is overloaded. Reduce the electrical load by switching off some devices. * The motor is not reaching the rated RPM. Refer to the „motor faults“ section for troubleshooting. * There are defective capacitors. Check the capacitors and replace them if necessary.

What to do if my Fischer Panda 15 mini PMS Digital generator is not able to start an electric motor?

  Brandi SimmonsAug 19, 2025
  If the Fischer Panda Inverter generator isn't starting an electric motor, it's likely because the motor needs too much current to start. You can check the motor's current draw required for starting. If possible, switch to a 3-phase motor. Alternatively, consider stronger capacitors or installing an optional „Easy Start Booster Set“. Contact your nearest Panda dealer or the manufacturer for more information.

Why does the diesel motor of my Fischer Panda 15 mini PMS Digital fail to start?
- J
  Justin NguyenAug 25, 2025
  If the diesel motor of your Fischer Panda Inverter fails to start, there are several potential causes: * The starter battery might be switched off. Check the battery switch position and turn it on, if installed. * The starter battery voltage could be insufficient. Inspect the battery terminals and cables for good electrical connections, checking for corrosion or damaged wires. * The starting current may be disrupted. During starting, the battery voltage should drop to 11V with a fully charged battery. If the voltage doesn't drop, the electrical connection is faulty. If it drops below 11V, the battery is discharged.

  Justin HesterAug 30, 2025
  If the starter is turning the motor but it fails to start on your Fischer Panda Inverter, consider the following: * The fuel pump might not be working. Check the fuel filter and pump, and clean if necessary. * There might be a lack of fuel. Verify the fuel supply. * The glow plugs may not be working correctly. Check the glow plugs and heating time. * There could be too much air in the fuel lines. Test the fuel system for leaks and bleed air from the fuel system. * The fuel filter might be blocked. Replace the fuel filter.
